Support for KOTLIN programming language

 

Kotlin is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference and it's Google’s preferred language for Android app development since 7 May 2019

Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to JavaScript or native code (via LLVM), and it's an alternative to the standard Java compiler.

Kotlin is officially supported by Google for mobile development on Android.  

As Kotlin is becoming a widely adopted programming language, Kiuwan now incorporates support to analyze Kotlin source files, thus searching for code and desing conditions that are indicative of security vulnerabilities.

 

Info

Kiuwan provides 61 Security Rules specifically suited to Scala programming language.

 

You can find these rules going to Models Management, select CQM and search for Rules applying to Kotlin language

Added Support for RM/COBOL dialect in COBOL technology.

 

Support for RM/Cobol dialect has been added to current list of supported Cobol dialects. 

All versions between 9.x to 12.16 (latest version at the moment of writing this post) have been succesfully tested.

 

Current list of supported Cobol dialects:

  • Cobol85, 
  • OS/VS Cobol II, 
  • Enterprise Cobol for z/OS v5, 
  • ILE Cobol 5, 
  • MicroFocus Cobol NetExpress 5, 
  • Cobol Tandem, 
  • AcuCOBOL-GT
  • RM/Cobol 

 

 

 

Duplicated Code rules are not longer mandatory 

When creating a new model, it was mandatory to activate duplicated code rules (i.e. rules that check for repeated blocks in source code).

This new Kiuwan release no longer forces duplicated code rules to be activated in your custom model.
